Cool Hunting
Few stores out there offer to give you just what you want in bed, but a great little shop in Vancouver called "Bed" (that also sells online) has made that its motto.
For several years, Bed has been offering some of the most unique bedding available by making products that are all about dramatic patterns and brilliant colors. I love the endless combinations of colorful floral patterns, but it's the cowboys and pirates that make me want to put on my p.j.'s and settle in for the night. If patterns aren't your style or you're looking for something to coordinate, there's an endless selection of brilliant solids. (More images after the jump.)
All of their bedding is made with 100% pre-shrunk cotton and is manufactured locally. Check out their up-to-date website for samples, where they've divided their products by fabric and then subdivided them by color. Most of the images throughout the site are direct scans of fabrics (wrinkles and all). Choose the fabric, choose the color and then choose the size—it makes for easy online shopping. Of course, if you're in Vancouver be sure to stop by the store in person.

From famous designers like Arne Jacobsen and Eames to lesser or even totally unknown, Deconet has it all. Besides tables and chairs, they offer lighting, carpet, storage and ceramics....
When I heard that Fredrik Larsson, owner of the Williamsburg boutique Scandinavian Grace, was opening an outpost in upstate New York, I had half a mind to take a day trip just to check it out. I still plan to but readers won't need to wait for my trip to view the interior (see more images after the jump). Located on Route 28 in...
One of my new favorite stores in Vancouver (well one of my new favorites anywhere, actually) is Roden Gray, a recent addition to Vancouver's trendy Gastown neighborhood. Roden Gray maintains a carefully-selected range of clothing, shoes, bags and accessories from labels that bring sophistication to casual menswear such as Wings + Horns, Filson, Nice Collective and Obedient Sons. My particular favorites on a recent...
Whenever I need to buy furniture—and it's been a few times over the past few months (yes, bookcases are useful things)—I check out Modhaus, an online store and "gallery of modernist furnishings, decorative arts and cultural artifacts of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s." Our apartment is rapidly becoming a shrine to the buying tastes of the Modhaus owners. How much wood can one possibly...
Spring Court, the iconic French tennis shoes, have been available stateside through select stores and boutiques for some time now, but the recent launch of their U.S. website makes it easier to find retailers and to determine if it's worth the trip. For the SS08 collection, which debuted along with the site, Spring Court stays true to its history of simple but functional design,...
